    Saw a comparison posted on the twitter link and anyone who claims thats not a Burzum ref is either a whole fucking circus or spitting in your face with contempt lying.

    Copied the font like come on, its the same fucking font and all.

      The font is one thing, it’s not an original font I’m the first place. Varg probably stole it from Bathory. HOWEVER, add everything else about the image and it is clearly a Burzum reference. Gotta admit 10 years ago this is one of the last things I’d ever guess would happen.

        From what I understand, Varg was a fan of Bathory (even ripped off their song Necromancy) so he probably used the font. It clearly is a Burzum reference because no Bathory albums look like that

          All of black metal is massively influenced by Barhory, so no surprise there. Plus Bathory are fucking sick. Bathory, ironically had a lot of influence from anarcho punk bands from the UK, their singer says he based his vocals on the dude from Riot//Clone (I don’t hear it), but yeah, Bathory wasn’t right wing at all and at least one member was at least very influenced by anarchist music, and you don’t usually listen to 80s anarcho punk for musical genius (though it’s around here and there)
